This luxury retreat in the Santa Monica Mountains is focused on exercise, nutrition, and a tech disconnect from everyday life. Ten hours of daily exercise, mostly hiking, is mandatory during the week-long stay, along with a regiment of yoga, stretching, and toning. Food is organic and vegan, with many ingredients sourced from the on-site farm. Alcohol, caffeine, and processed sugars are off-limits, so are cell phones and the Internet, though guests have daily access to a communication center. Each guest has a private room, decorated in earthy brown and beige against white, with floors and furniture made from painter's scaffolding.
Room to Book:
Rooms are minimally furnished and include a queen-size bed and bathroom, though guests can contact the ranch in advance of their stay to arrange for customization of their quarters.
Insider Tip:
A month prior to visiting the ranch you will be instructed to wean yourself from caffeine, alcohol, sweets, and meat, plus physically prepare with daily exercise.
